  1. nah I've used it on model rocket engines :edit: I've started work on the calculations
  2. I'm not saying its easy, but if I can get the temp within 300 degrees of the melting temp of the extrusion material, I can use gasket sealant used in cars to cover the inside of the pulse jet, maybe more if I can find a better insulator, I'm keeping flight times low for this exact reason, eventually it will melt, I just want to make it usable before it does
  3. Valveless, I think I can tweak the mixture to reduce temp
  4. Hand tools, drill, hammer, and the likes. I can get to a 3d printer at school. The plastic would be easier to manufacture labor-wise, but it would be a little more complex to insulate from the heat
  5. So I was thinking (in the middle of german class), somehow I got from how much I wanted out of there to pulsejets. From there I started to go through ideas of possibly making my own pulsejet, eventually leading me to the question: can I 3d print a functional, and integratable pulsejet for R/C models, etc? The short answer is sort of, yes. The biggest problem with the entire concept is cooling it. I'm saying that a 5 minute run time with throttle to the firewall, preferably 10 at 3/4. SO, after thats out of the way, lets get "technical". PROBLEM 1! Cooling - Pulsejets get hot, like, really hot, so I need to figure out how to insulate the plastic from the extreme temperatures from the combustion PROBLEM 2! Pulsejets are weird, they "pulse" the fuel flow to allow the suction/blow of a normal running pulsejet, I want to keep the jet simple, I.E. no computertrons beep-bopping around with timers, mainly because I cant code. Current progress is stuck at how to insulate the 3d-printed structure from the heat, however I'm formulating an idea, and I'm not great at cad.
  6. Lookin good, and getting even closer, its looking like the flame regresses into the chamber once good combustion starts
  7. Eh I'm regretting not studying last night, had a small quiz
  8. That's funny @Lo Var Lachlandd Ok I give up trying to delete that d, stupid autocorrect. Anyways, my girlfriend has a very similar style
  9. the mixing of the fuel will be sub optimal, at best
  10. Hahahahahahahahah I had to listen to it for two weeks. Straight. Never again.
  11. However effective, (at least I believe) there should be some chivalry, obviously hes not putting life in danger, not yet at least (he would have a knife), and being kicked in the balls is probably the worst thing you can really do pain wise. Kicking out the opponents knees would do the same thing, and not like, ensure they never reproduce. If its a life or death scenario, sure, but hes not going to do anything of the sort in full view of staff.
  12. AWESOME Never seen a exhaust plume like that though
  13. https://youtu.be/8D61Zrd8o8s (sorry for double post) but the motor worked!
